Section 126 Surrounding(1/2)
"Yeah?"
Su Hao's tone sounded weird: "Do you think those people will give me a chance? When the robber rushed into your house and plundered and killed people, he would put the phone in front of you to call the police calmly? General, I understand what you mean and believe that you have the ability to help me. However, there are many things that cannot be solved by personal will. I did not kill him on the spot, this is the bottom line."
These words were very direct and did not give Chen Yanlin any face at all.
"Enough———"
Chen Yanlin suddenly slapped the table and roared angrily: "You are just a fool. Do you know why you have outstanding military achievements but have never been promoted to captain? Why did the Army Command transfer you to the base city? Do you think Chen Jiarong is just an ordinary logistics officer? There are many things you don't understand at all. Yes, you are a researcher, and Wang Qinian has the ability to protect you, so you think you can do whatever you want? You have the ability and have a clear view of things. Why can't you think more? Look more? What are the benefits of making enemies on all sides? Arrogant... You are simply arrogant."
Su Hao's face was calm, he sat upright, and said nothing.
"Now, go back to the training camp immediately to wait for the order. Before passing the alternate officer assessment, it is prohibited to leave the camp area."
Chen Yanlin's face was filled with a strong anger, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I will pay attention to your wife's question. You can rest assured that no one dares to touch her as long as it is in the base city, and it is absolutely safe. I also want to warn you: It is prohibited to fight with anyone without permission. Otherwise, even I will not be able to protect you."
Monday, sunny.
Military trucks loaded with people and various supplies drove out of the training camp, left the base city, and slowly drove towards the departure camp set out on the outskirts of Chengdu.
There was almost no space in the carriage. Apart from the ammunition box and food box that were crowded together, there were only ten members of the CR team, including Su Hao.
Su Hao held the assault rifle and sat alone in the corner of the carriage.
The rest of the people stood or sat, keeping enough distance from him. The eyes cast from their eyes were extremely cold and had no heat at all.
This gloomy and silent atmosphere remained unchanged until the truck drove into the departure camp.
According to convention, the team members collected supplies from the military judges, registered their names and military numbers, and then walked out of the slowly opened protective gates and walked towards the abandoned city in the distance in the hot sun.
Walking on the empty street, Su Hao's breathing became calm and slow.
Chengdu is no different from Kunming. The skyscrapers here are as cold and empty as they are, and various abandoned vehicles block the entire street. The door signs of several shops are hanging obliquely. When the wind blows, they will feel weak and let out a "squeaking" moan.
The dead bodies have decayed into thick black dirt. Human bones can be seen everywhere. They are scattered and cannot be formed into a complete shape.
Su Hao stood at the door of a "Baiji Feiyuan Noodles" snack shop, silently staring at the broken bowls, scattered chopsticks, and various containers of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the messy shop.
In the future world, an old man in Xi'an base has run a similar snack. The spicy and delicious taste is unforgettable. Many hunters and soldiers like it very much. Su Hao was lucky to taste it once, but the price was very expensive. Because except for the military, it is difficult for civilians to get pork and other things...
"Let's go, don't be dazed. We have enough trouble."
Behind him, Meng Yan's ridiculous sarcasm came.
He and eight other team members stood in a semicircle and surrounded Su Hao.
Since they left the camp, they have maintained this formation—Su Hao is in front and the rest are in back, and the distance between the two is no more than five meters.
Since Chen Yanlin's office returned to the training camp, Meng Yan, Li Zhenmei and others have been on guard against Su Hao and have not concealed their hostility.
Perhaps... the debate with the Chief of Staff of the Army has been known to some big shot.
Many things are simply judged by voice, and it is impossible to know the truth.
No one saw the eyes and expressions between Su Hao and Chen Yanlin.
It is not a quarrel, but a subtle communication in a surveillance environment.
Su Hao is Chen Yanlin's confidant, at least the latter thinks so.
Xinyan, Tang Zi and others are Su Hao's weaknesses in the base city. Using Chen Yanlin's power to prepare for it is enough to relieve Su Hao's worries.
However, even Su Hao himself didn't know what Chen Yanlin's last warning meant?
The Chief of Staff wanted to express was vague.
Putting aside the useless distractions, Su Hao has only one issue to consider at present - passing the training camp assessment. Only by becoming a formal officer can Wang Qinian and Chen Yanlin's speech work.
Meng Yan chose the same route as last time. There are very few mutated creatures in this area and there are no large-scale groups.
This season is already very hot. However, the impression given by the city is still cold. You can smell a faint blood and stench of corpses at any time, and the air is filled with a gloomy feeling.
Su Hao turned around and found that the rest of the team members were sneering. A hint of cold air penetrated from his face, making people shudder.
He did not argue and continued to walk forward.
The sun became dimmer and dimmer, as if an invisible demon was pulling it fiercely towards the horizon. The twilight became thicker and darker gradually became the only ruler of the earth. The originally clear scenery became blurry, and even if it was very close, it was difficult to see its original shape.
In front of a large office building with a huge advertisement for "Coca-Cola", Su Hao stopped again.
This is a building with more than 40 floors. The outer wall has been reinforced and all windows from the first floor to the fifth floor are sealed. A thick slide-rail steel door is blocked at the entrance, with a huge structural password lock hanging on it. Only by the correct serial number can the lock buckle be loosened.
Li Zhenmei walked up and skillfully pressed a string of numbers on the lock surface. A dull mechanical impact sound immediately came from inside the lock, and the gate slowly opened.
This is a special base for the military to assess the training camp personnel.
When the city was evacuated, some buildings with special locations and strong structural strength were selected. The military sent special personnel to clean up zombies, strengthen and transform the foundation, and store some food and ammunition inside. These buildings will not be open to civilians and are exclusively for training personnel to stay overnight.
Li Zhenmei turned around and looked at Su Hao with a playful look.
"Stay there? There are mutant creatures everywhere outside, go in."
As he said that, he flattened his gun and slowly walked back to the middle of Meng Yan and others.
Su Hao looked at these people silently, his pupils emitted a cold light in the darkness.
On a chaotic night of the bar, the CR team lost two members.
Yesterday, two new alternate officers came.
They are tall, with cold and hard facial features, violent eyes, developed muscles, and skilled in operating various weapons. They don't look like untrained newcomers at all. Especially the fierceness and murderous intent that they exudes all the time can only be seen in veterans of the frontline combat troops.
Su Hao said nothing and took steps forward.
He walked very slowly and steadily, as if he had to make sure whether the ground could hold the weight of his body at every step.
The interior of the building is empty, with various building materials and debris placed along the walls, and there is no obstacle to the road leading to the stairs.
"Bang----"
A heavy metal impact came from behind.
Without looking back, Su Hao also knew that it was the sound of the steel gate being locked again.
According to relevant regulations, password lock information should be made public to team members to facilitate the use of dangerous moments.
No one said this to Su Hao. Meng Yan and the others did not seem to remember that there was such a military rule, or they chose to forget this matter.
In the darkness, people could only see Su Hao's back, and no one noticed that a sneer was released on his face.
Step onto the steps and walk upstairs.
First floor.
Second floor.
Third floor.
The team members following behind followed closely, almost at the same pace as Su Hao. Several people scattered into a surround mode, aiming the muzzle at Su Hao from different angles. Step by step, one by one, and every step forward seemed to stir up the dangerous factors in the air.
Su Hao did not stop. He felt like the legendary Xiangxi corpse-driver, walking up the rooftop with a group of ulterior motives.
The wind is very strong.
Under your feet is endless darkness.
The entire city has long been cut off from power supply, and the remaining refugees will not reveal any light in the dark in order to avoid mutated creatures. Looking down from the roof, various buildings with heights are like the teeth of monsters' mouths. They protrude into the sky one by one, and can only barely see the general outline. However, for things that cannot be captured by the naked eye and subconsciously think are dangerous, humans always like to classify them as death, evil, and terrifying categories.
The darkness under your feet does hide danger and horror.
There are tens of thousands of mutated creatures, groups of blood corpses and humanoids.
Chengdu and Kunming are completely different worlds.
Although they are all abandoned cities, the latter has given birth to a large number of powerful "worker bees" due to Su Hao's appearance. They hunted zombies in large quantities, greatly reducing the evolution probability of blood corpses and humanoids, and the number was greatly reduced than that of other cities. Although there has not been any statistics on how many mutated creatures there are in Kunming City, based on the number of permanent residents in peacetime, plus the part that was continuously hunted by team members after the outbreak of the virus, the remaining ones should be only about half of the historical level of the same period.
Su Hao can feel that there are a large number of mutated creatures moving within the radius of thinking perception.
These terrible guys love to hunt for food at night. Unfortunately, they have not evolved the ability to climb on smooth cement walls so far.
Nine members of the CR team slowly surrounded him and formed an irregular semicircle again. They trapped Su Hao in the center and picked up the gun in their hands.
Meng Yan's skin is dark and shiny, and looks as hard as iron. This special skin type can usually only be seen in third-level reinforcement people.
Just last week, when Su Hao just walked into the alternate officer training camp, Meng Yan was just a second-level strengthener. This matched his rank of lieutenant.
Now, Meng Yan's body is emitting a special aura of third-level strengthening people.
Not only him, but also Li Zhenmei, the two veterans who just joined the squad, as well as the other five team members, all have the same level of strengthening ability.
After just one weekend, the capabilities of the entire CR team collectively improved for a whole stage.
This is not normal.
Due to the sparse number of third-level potions, it is currently only open to senior officers above the brigade general. Of course, this regulation also applies to certain soldiers and intermediate officers with outstanding military achievements. The doubled strength means that the chance of survival on the battlefield is greater, which can arouse the fanatical pursuit of soldiers more than any medals and rewards.
Everyone in the CR team is a lieutenant. According to military regulations, they can only distribute second-level potions.
Obviously, someone provided enhancement potion for seven members of the CR team to exceed the specifications, so that their strength increased to the third-level standard in just two days.
Su Hao shook his head calmly.
This change was entirely caused by oneself. In front of Su Hao, Chen Jiarong, as a third-level strengthener, had no power to resist at all, and was easily knocked down after one encounter. This means that Su Hao's ability has reached or even exceeded the third level. If you want to kill him, you need strong enough power.
Of course, a safer way is to send out fourth-level or fifth-level reinforcers.
To be continued...
